TeIegraphing Done from a Moving
Train.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA large party of
prominent electricians took the 1.15 train
from the Pennsylvania Railroad depot in
Jersey City yesterday to witness an exhibi-
tion given by the Consolidated Railway Tele-
graph Company of its new system OF COM
mdnication between moving trains.
Special cars with metal roofs were used in
the experiments. An operator sat in one OF
the cars on the train with a small keyboard
in his lap. A telephone was fastened to his
ear and small battery was conveniently
near. Attached to the Keyboard and the tel
ephone were coils of wire, one leading to the
roof of the car and the other to the wheels
and thence to the ground, forming ground
wire. Ihe roof wires pass to a brass clamp,
where they are securely fastened
Along the line of the road telegraph poles
mad been erected, and, by a seemingly impos-
sible Jump of fifteen feet, the electricity was
transmitted from the roof of the car to the
wires on these poles. The exhibition was
success in every respect. Some fifty or sixty
messages were received and sent While the
tram moved at the rate of fifty miles an
hour, among them a despatch from DIR. Chas
L, Crowell to Mr.. Thomas ii. Edison, who
was ON the train, congratulating him on the
success OF the invention. At ten minutes
after three despatch containing the closing
quotations on the New York Stock Exchange
for all the active stocks was received.
The excursion was made over the Lehigh
Valley branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad
to Easton, Pa, and return. Among the
guests of the Railway Telegraph Company
were Mr.. Garrett, vice president of the road !;
NJ, Stanley Goodwin, Thomas A. Edison
Ezra T. Gilliland, Lueius G. Phelps, George
D'lnfreville, George Hamilton, A. S. Brown.
Henry ID. Hall. j. w. Lattig. Frank S. Gan,
non, Professor George f. Baker, dean of
Pennsylyania University; Professor Carl
Seller, w. II. Warner, of Philadelphia; III.
Z: Davis, president New York Electrical
stitute; Horace j. Morse, Commissioner Eu-
gene Blackford, John c. Tomlinson, Rufus
Hatch, Professor A. X. Eaton and Cornelius
Van Brunt. On the return trip series of
resolutions were drawn up thanking the
company for the pleasant excursion and yot-
ing the exhibition success.

The Fall Races-The Break-Reck Ri
vaIry of go and 'ei Happily Ended.
Especial to the Press.l


BRUNSWICK, Oct. THE fall boat races
occurred this afternoon. The water was in
excellent condition, and the races were in
teresting throughout. The first heat was
rowed by two crews, the first consisting of
Capt. Lyman, Allard, Cleaves and Meserve,
with Prentiss, coxswain; the second of
Capt. Hastings, Sears, Horne and Parker,
with Stearns, coxswain. The heat was won
by Lynam's crew, in 3.554. The second heat
was between the following crews: The first,
Capt. Gates, c. ii. Hastings, Chandler and
Little. with Briggs, coxswain; the second,
Capt. Jackson, j. Hastings, Adams and f.
Russell, with Manson, coxswain. 1t was
won Ivy Jackson's crew in 4.O5i. The third
heat was between the two winning crews,
and was won by Jackson, in 4.0la. Lyman.
Gates and Hastings then rowed in single
shells, Lyman being victorious.
The Freshmen, in accordance with the
time-honored custom at Bowdoin, attempted
to hold their 'peanut drunk" last Monday
morning, about 3 O'Clock, but the Sopho-
mores were too vigilant for them, and cap
tured the peanuts, besides treating the
Freshmen to liberal outpourings of water as
they returned to their rooms. In the morn.
ing, it appeared that Cilley, one of the
Freshmen, anticipating the success of the
drunk" had suspended from the top of the
north spire of the chapel white flag, with
the figures '91 in black. Last night Mr..
George B. Chandler, of the Sophomore class,
climbed the tower, removed the flag, and
spread the banner of his own class to the
breeze. He also placed a Phi Chi hat, pierc-
ed by cane, bearing the class colors, upon
the extreme top of the spire. This morning
Mr.. Chandler. holding the captured flag
draped in mourning was borne into chapel
on the shoulder of his classmates. After
chapel Messrs Cilley and Chandler met and
shook hands, both receiving three hearty
cheers from both classes.
Four of the five secret societies held their
limitations tonight.

MARBLEHEAD, Oct. S.-The Wharf Rats
Club is a unique society of juvenile yachting
enthusiasts, banded together for the purpose
of collecting raw material for Volunteer il
Elimination. Seventeen members marched
through Washington street at O'Clock last
night making noisy demonstration. They
halted before high fence at the North end,
dipped their fingers in tar and wrote BLOOD"
in big letters upon the boards. Asked
7hat the meaning of the thrilling exclama-
tiOn was, they said it meant death to the
man who dared to lift stave from the col
lection of barrels they had been all the week
making. Pressed to outline the magnitude
of the demonstration they expected to make,
they said they had already 200 oil, flour and
tar barrels stored in certain cellars in close
proximity to old Fort Sewall. AT given
signal they would be carried forth ON hun
dred shoulders to make such blaze as was
never witnessed here since the time when
old Marbleheaders went forth to do war
against the vested interests of the Saemites
on Cat island, the small pox hospital on
which they burned to the ground a century
or more ago. They are going to paint the
town red, not with the ordinary, everyday
carmine, but with lurid glare.
The more sober element in the town will
demonstrate on more temperate lines, and
the welcome to the cup, winner will be in
every way worthy of the place.
The Volunteer Club met tonight and ap-
pointed committee to wait upon Mr.. Bur-
tion. Il is generally thought that the recep-
tion will take place tomorrow. The Volun-
teer arrived tonight, and dropped anchor
amid the booming Of canon.
The national purse to Designer Burgess
is booming. Two thousand dollars have been
subscribed in the New York Yacht Club
alone.

lating to the closing Of the annual fair The
list OF premiums awarded will be- duly ar
ranged and in the hands Of the treasurer by
the middle Of this month, after which the

an early date, probably not later than the
middle of September, 1883. The most I'M
portant question to be decided now Is In re-

yate parties whO,up to this time. have receiv

The Utah Commission Disagree


WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The report of the
minority of the Utah Commissioners was
received at the Interior Department this
morning. The minority commissioners pro-
test against the theological discussion in the
report of the commission, which they think
should relate to legislative matter only, and
are inclined to dissent from the opinion of
the commission that the late action of the
MormonS in Utah to formulate State con-
stitution and secure the admission of the
Territory is intended simply as show and
to defeat the ends of justice. They believe
the mormons are acting in good faith, be-
cause three quarters of the entire Mormon
population are monogamists. The GentileS,
they maintain, did not vote at the last cleo
tion, and in the vote in favor of the consti-
tuition was nearly 90 per cent Mormon. The
constitution, they are convinced, was adopt
ed in good faith. They decline to join in
the recommendation of the commission as
to further hostile legislation against polyga-
ly, which must include in the punishment of
the few guilty persons lalge number of the
innocent; and in conclusion they recon-
mend the adoption of an amendment to the
Federal statutes, which still prohibits polyg-
amy in any form in any State or Territory.
They think the Mormons sincerely desire to
abandon polygamy.
No Cattle Disease in Nova Scotia.
The Treasury Department has notified the
collector of customs at Boston that an in
vestigation, made by the State Department,
shows that no infectious diseases exist
among animals in Nova Scotia Instructions
prohibiting the landing of animals and hides
from there are revoked.
